Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! There are plenty of events in Stream for which you can send notifications to your customers. The Planning screen in Stream has inline buttons for sending email and SMS notifications to each customer to let them know their delivery/collection has been planned, and provide them with a tracking link for them to follow their order.

Yes! Stream has a Route Comparison tool which lets you open a window comparing up to ten of your planned routes at a time. This is really useful for identifying any inefficiencies or route overlaps, as well as having the ability to see any unplanned stops that might be close to a route you’ve already planned.

Yes! Driver breaks can be added manually to a run in Stream, alternatively, you can set up automatic driver breaks which will create a new break on the run after each specified time duration has passed and will last for a duration that you can specify.

Yes! It is possible to plan runs in Stream that span multiple days. You can make use of the Driver Breaks feature to plan overnight stops for drivers within the run, with deliveries and collections then pushed to resume on the following day.

Plan less, deliver more.

Slash your route planning time, cut your delivery costs and exceed your customer’s expectations.
